    Default The 4th Branch of the U.S. Government

    Asalaam'alikum,

    I feel like some of us here need to learn more about the 4th branch of the U.S. government - the media - and how it controls some of our minds and the world we make around us. Inshallah it is beneficial.

    Interesting.

    "Our mission is three fold:

    1. The remembrance of Allah
    2. The invitation to and propagation of Islam
    3. The selfless service to creation

    We are not to engage in the 4th in addition to the 3 above"


    - Hazrat Abu Anees Muhammed Barkat Ali (qsa), rector Dar-ul-Ehsan

    As Salamu Alaykum


    I think a more appropriate documentary in my opinion , is Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...82395226827730


    Synopsis:
    Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible, MANUFACTURING CONSENT explores the political life and ideas of Noam Chomsky, world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist. In a dynamic collage of new and original footage, biography, archival gems, imaginative graphics and outrageous illustrations, the film highlights Chomsky’s probing analysis of mass media. A mammoth two-part project, MANUFACTURING CONSENT is nonetheless light on its feet, favoring a style that encourages viewers to question its own workings, as Chomsky himself encourages his listeners to extricate themselves from the “web of deceit” by undertaking a course of “intellectual self-defense.” Appearing in the film are major journalists and critics, including Bill Moyers, William F. Buckley, Jr., Tom Wolfe, Peter Jennings, Jeff Greenfield, philosopher Michel Foucault, White House reporter Sarah McClendon, New York Times editorial writer Karl E. Meyer and revisionist author Robert Faurisson.
    Imam ash-Shafi`i said, "Whoever takes knowledge from books loses the regulations." (man akhadha al-`ilma min al-kutubi Dayya`a al-aHkaama). [Reported by Nawawi in the introduction to "al-Majmu`"]

    Asalaam'alikum AlQurtubi!

    It's a small world dear brother - yes it's me from TTI.

    I was banned for exposing their Salafi teachings, which contradicted Abu Hanifa and the real salafs.
